Lockwood Senior Living in South Lyon is redefining what community means for adults “55 and better” with their maintenance-free luxury independent senior living community.

Tucked away in a quiet wooded area just off Pontiac Trail, the community offers residents their choice of spacious one- or two-bedroom apartments, complete with full-size washers and dryers, quartz countertops, modern appliance packages and pet-friendly accommodations.

Covered carports are also available onsite for added convenience along with a salon, fitness center, library, private theater, raised garden beds with an active garden club, a spacious pavilion for outdoor gatherings and more.


An atmosphere of relaxation

Lockwood provides an all-inclusive experience that gives residents the opportunity to escape the troubles of home ownership, where they don’t have to worry about keeping up with lawncare or even cooking dinner if they don’t want to.

Residents enjoy two chef-prepared meals a day at breakfast and dinner, along with access to a grab-and-go café that offers midday options for purchase.

Bi-monthly housekeeping, laundry and concierge services are also available to bring convenience to everyday living.


Community, relationships are key

What truly sets Lockwood apart is its strong focus on community and connection. The environment is designed to foster friendships and social engagement while also respecting each resident’s desire for privacy and independence.

“Living at Lockwood of Lyon provides the opportunity to be as social or as non-social as you choose,” said executive director Sue Fickau.

With conversational seating on every floor, Lockwood’s dynamic social life is highly driven by residents and there’s always a card game, a board game or a fun chat going on between residents.


Activities that engage, entertain

Activities director Mari Soroka plays a key role in jumpstarting and advancing these connections, coming up with new programs and outings inspired by her conversations with residents. She organizes events, social gatherings and activities that allow residents to make connections, stay active and have a good time.

“It’s evident that our residents love their home. Similarly, I love what I do because we share the same community, just in a different way,” she said.

In her role, Soroka has introduced popular resident activities such as a book club and walking club, an expansive puzzle area with rolling puzzle tables that can be taken to residents’ apartments if they desire, themed outings, private events and more.

“The social interactions couldn’t be better,” said resident Kathy Sulisz. “It’s very welcoming and I enjoy the people the most. Although I have a family outside, I also have one inside here.”

Sulisz enjoys the entertainment that comes to Lockwood and one of her favorite things to do is spend time on the patio, where she’s met some of her closest friends.


You can pick and choose your atmosphere

The community allows residents to truly make the place they live feel like home. On top of the spacious apartments, there are also private event spaces, including a dining room that is often reserved by residents to host family gatherings, birthday celebrations or get togethers.

Lockwood Senior Living is particularly appealing to homeowners who are ready to transition away from the responsibilities of home and property maintenance.

When resident Pat Gordon sold her home after going into long-term rehab, she wanted to feel like herself again and live on her own.

“I feel like I can be me again and have a sense of living independently,” Gordon said. “We are all different, but you can pick and choose the atmosphere. From neighbors to staff it feels like family.”

Jenn Paulin, concierge at Lockwood Senior Living, enjoys the community’s camaraderie as well.

“As concierge, I interact with the residents multiple times a day,” she said. “I am grateful for being invited into their lives and the stories they share.”

At Lockwood of Lyon, residents can escape the troubles of home ownership and enjoy the relaxation and freedom of independent living while cultivating meaningful friendships every day.
